Brachytherapy Market Size To Reach $1.62 Billion By 2030

Brachytherapy Market Growth & Trends

The global brachytherapy market size is expected to reach USD 1.62 billion by 2030, growing at 7.1% CAGR from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth of the market is largely attributable to the rising prevalence of cancer, technology advancements, and increasing investment in R&D by major players.

According to the American Cancer Society, in the U.S., 609,360 died due to cancer, and an estimated 1.9 million new cases were recorded in 2022. This is expected to increase to 24.6 million by the year 2030. This is expected to be a major factor driving the growth of the market. Additionally, technological advancements and favorable reimbursement scenarios, particularly in developed countries, are expected to drive market growth.

Some of the key players operating in the brachytherapy industry are ELEKTA AB; Varian Medical Systems; C.R. BARD, Inc.; Eckert & Ziegler BEBIG S.A.; and IsoRay Medical, Inc. Elekta offers targeted and precise treatment for breast, rectum, prostate, skin, surface, and gynecological cancers. Flexitron delivers the treatment accurately and effectively.

MicroSelectron is a system used for multiple brachytherapy applications and is a predecessor of Flexitron. Esteya is electronic brachytherapy used for skin cancer treatment. Venezia is an applicator used in gynecological brachytherapy. Furthermore, in November 2020, Elekta announced Elekta Studio, a complete image-guided brachytherapy workflow in a single room. This would enhance the treatment efficiency and patient comfort.

New product launches and mergers and acquisitions are some of the major strategies adopted by the players to gain market share. For instance, in July 2022, BEBIG Medical successfully acquired Wolf-Medizintechnik GmbH ("WOmed") to broaden its product offering in the field of radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer.

In January 2020, U.S. FDA approved GammaTile therapy for patients with stage I brain cancer. Isoray, Inc. and GT Medical Technology collaboratively developed GammaTile Therapy. According to Isoray, Inc., it is the only radiation therapy specifically designed for the treatment of the brain. The launch of such products over the coming years by market players is expected to accelerate growth.
